Words denoting shapes of the human body in 10 languages are analyzed. The universal two-dimensional space of human figures (as people judge them) is defined along the scales THIN-FAT and PLEASANT-UNPLEASANT. Experimental data clearly support the assumption. There are quite a few words in each language for the figures at the ends of the scales and there is not a single word to designate a figure with mid-scale values.1 aВасильевич, Александр, П.  uhttp://scripta-bulgarica.eu/bg/biblio/vasilevich199301183nas a2200121   4500008004100000245025600041210012800297300001100425490000600436520051200442100005000954856005701004       1983                        eng d00aПсихолингвистический подход к установлению лексических соответствий (на материале болгарских, русских и английских цветонаименований)0 aПсихолингвистический подход к установлению лексических соответст  a5–170 v83 aThe results of an experiment conducted with native speakers of Bulgarian, Russian and English are discussed in the paper along with part of the samples published in Munsell’s colour-terms charts. Some possibilities are pointed out for compiling a full list of the linguistic means used to denote colours. Some of the techniques applied in the formation of synonym clusters of col24 our terms are outlined and contrasted across the three languages in order to obtain the most precise bilingual equivalents.1 aВасильевич, Александр, П.  uhttp://scripta-bulgarica.eu/bg/biblio/vasilevich1983
